Disclaimer: I don't own Dan and Phil, nor anyone associated with them

Hey pasrtries, Sorry for no update today, but I am here with the latest chapter and I hope you enjoy it.

Phil smiled when he saw Dan...his smile faded slightly, when he saw someone else with him which wouldn't have been too bad...except he was holding Dan's hand. Who was this person? Dan hadn't mentioned anyone else coming with him, and this guy seemed to be quite familiar with Dan considering he was holding his hand. Phil inwardly sighed, and tried to reel back the jealousy he was feeling. After all, Dan was allowed to have other friends...it was possible that this other guy might not even be into Dan that way. An annoying voice in his mind was also telling him that he was currently in a relationship. Still, he felt a burning sensation in the pit of his stomach.

"Hey Phil." Said Dan nervously once they were there. Phil smiled and immediately glomped Dan, casting a look to the other boy. Zachary was immediately taken a back by the almost dirty look his papa shot him...when it hit him, and he had to keep himself from laughing. Was papa jealous of him? Did Papa seriously think that he and his dad...he shook his head and then it was Phil's turn to look confused.

"Um...Phil? You can let me go now." Said Dan, still in Phil's arms and blissfully unaware of what was going on.

"Oh, sorry...whose this?" Said Phil letting go of Dan and motioning to Zachary, looking the fourteen year old suspiciously. Zachary cleared his throat, and extended his hand out to him.

"Hey, I'm Zachary...um..I'm your cousin, we've never really met but I have heard about you. I ran into your boyfriend here, he seems nice." Said Zachary, making Dan turn red as he immediately covered Zachary's mouth and turned to Phil nervously.

"Um...uh, h-he m-m-eans friend, friend..we're just friends Zach...me and Phil." Said Dan, his face resembling a tomato.

"Yeah, we are. It's nice to meet you Zach, my parents are away for the weekend but they didn't tell me you'd be coming." Said Phil, as he looked at Zachary, when he noticed his eyes and how they were just like his. Phil however, just pushed it to the back of his mind loads of people had blue eyes. More importantly, he didn't have anyone in his family named Zachary and no one in his family was the type of person who'd keep someone a secret. He'd however, ask him privately...not infront of Dan.

"It's a surprise visit." Said Zachary, though he could tell Papa knew something was off.

"Well, come on why don't we head to my stuff and you can drop off your stuff there...actually...Zachary, where's your stuff?" Asked Phil, when he noticed Zachary didn't have a backpack or anything really. Nothing except the clothes on his back, Dan immediately noticed and Zachary's eyes widened wondering how he was going to explain himself out of this one. Dan looked at him sympathetically, he recalled what Zachary said about his dad and how he'd just left, maybe in the heat of the moment he forgot to get his things. He turned to Phil with a small smile and shook his head.

"He can borrow some of mine, I don't mind." Said Dan, Phil smiled softly at Dan and nodded. He turned to Zachary, and made a small 'I'm watching you' motion behind Dan's back and Zachary chuckled. Which only succeeded in making Phil turn red, and looked even more confused. Maybe he should explain to Phil soon that he wasn't interested in Dan that way, perhaps then his papa wouldn't be so suspicious. As they walked, Zachary listened to Dan and Phil talking. He smiled at how his dad seemed so shy with papa and how papa seemed to be slightly flirty with him. They were smiling and seemed to be having a great time, just the two of them in their own little world.

"A world that soon won't include you." Said a voice, and immediately Zachary whirled around to see a tall man dressed all in black, with black sunglasses as his hair was slicked back.

"Um, who are you?" Asked Zachary in confusion.

"You wished upon a star saying that you wished Dan Howell wasn't your father correct? I'm here to grant your wish." Said the man and Zachary's eyes widened.

"I take it back, I was angry and I take it all back I want Dan to be my dad." Said Zachary, when the man disappeared and suddenly Zachary was left stunned. What had he done? He'd just put not only his dad's life in jeapordy, but he also risked his sisters' existence. He looked, back to Dan and Phil who'd stopped to take a selfie...whatever was going on he had to stop it. He had to make sure Dan and Phil got together. The fourteen year old ran over and wrapped his arms around Dan in a tight embrace. He ignored the small annoyed look on Phil's face, and looked up at Dan who looked at him in concern.

"You ok?" Asked Dan.

"Fine...I um...s-sorry." Said Zachary with a small smile. Dan smiled and ruffled his hair, when Phil cleared his throat, Dan looked back at him curiously.

"Um, I'll be right back, I have to call my mum and tell her I got here safe." Said Dan, when his phone buzzed and he saw it was his mother ringing him. He walked away to call his mom, leaving Zachary alone with Phil.

"I know you're jealous, but I don't like Dan like that. I mean I care about him yeah, but not like you do." Said Zachary, and he saw Phil's features soften and his gaze was warmer than before.

"So who are you then? And don't say my cousin, I know that's a lie." Said Phil, relieved to find out the kid had no interest in Dan. He was however, still very curious about who he was.

"Let's just say I'm a friend, a friend who thinks you and Dan would do very well together." Said Zachary, Phil chuckled and shook his head.

"I wish, but I have a boyfriend, his name is Charlie." Said Phil, Zachary looked at him in confusion he didn't know anyone of his dad's exes named Charlie...then he remembered seven years ago, he'd been kidnapped by a man named Charlie and his dad got hurt then. That's when everything clicked into place, immediately he placed his hands on Phil's shoulders.

"Phil listen to me, don't let Charlie anywhere near Dan." Said Zachary urgently.

"Wait what?" Said Phil in confusion.

"I know this sounds crazy, but I have this feeling that Charlie will most likely hurt Dan or at least try to." Said Zachary, his blue eyes looking up at Phil's own blue eyes pleadingly. Phil bit his lip he knew Charlie had issues, but he'd never hurt Dan...would he? They looked up, as Dan came back.

" Hey, sorry about that, lets go." Said Dan, Phil smiled and held Dan's hand. Dan immediately blushed, and tried to stop smiling but he found that he couldn't Phil had said he was dating someone, and he was kind of jealous of them. Still, at least he had Phil as his friend and that was something. His brown eyes turned to look at Phil, who looked so handsome, and radiant, and he could literally feel his heart beating faster.

Then he thought he heard something creaking, then again it was a building filled with people walking and trains going back and forth so it was probably his imagination. He listened to Phil talking, when Phil stopped and looked around.

"Did you hear that?" He asked, and Dan knew it hadn't been his imagination.

Dan knitted his brow and looked up, and his eyes widened as one of the lamp posts overhead creaked and groaned before it shattered and immediately Dan shielded Zachary by wrapping his arms around him, and pressing his face close to his chest so the glass wouldn't hit him. Immediately Phil pulled Dan and Zachary out of the way, and he gasped at a piece of glass that had gotten stuck on Dan's arm.

"Dan!" Exclaimed Phil, Zachary and Dan looked and Zachary's grip on Dan became even tighter.

"I'm fine it was just a scratch, are you ok?" Asked Dan, looking to the other two. Phil looked into Dan's eyes and sighed softly, before smiling.

"I'm fine, but we should get you some help." Said Phil, and Zachary nodded. He looked and saw the man from earlier, he narroed his eyes and stood infront of Dan protectively before following Dan and Phil.
